The Sprint version doesn't bring too many new features to the table. And, those hoping to take advantage of the phone's fast 4G LTE network capabilities will have to wait a while.

Rolling out 4G LTE for the Galaxy Nexus

Sprint is in the process of converting to the newer, quicker 4G LTE network. However, until the transition is complete, Samsung Galaxy Nexus users will have to settle for 3G speeds.

And that could take a while - Sprint will reportedly roll out LTE support in 10 cities, including Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and Atlanta, by the end of June.

Even then, Galaxy Nexus owners - as well as owners of Sprint's other 4G LTE-compatible phones, the LG Viper (also released yesterday) and the unreleased HTC Evo 4G LTE - will be out of luck unless they live in one of the 10 LTE-ready cities.

This places Sprint users at a considerable disadvantage, as AT&T and Verizon are already well on their way to making 4G LTE the standard on their own devices.

Padding your Google Wallet

Perhaps to make up for the initial lack of 4G network speeds, Sprint is granting $10 in funds to Samsung Galaxy Nexus adopters who sign up for Google Wallet - an app that's not even available on Verizon phones - within a week of activating their phones.
